System is aware of new version but tells that it is up to date.
-
I have some pfSense appliances which behave differently. I have one that was aware of the new version 2.5.0 and notified me correctly. Upgrading went ok. I have two other systems that behave differently.
One seems not to be aware of the new version and remains on version 2.4.5 P1:
What puzzles me most is the one that seems to be aware of a new version 2.5.0 but keeps telling that it is up to date with version 2.4.5 P1:
Switching to the previous version and after some time, switching back, does not solve the issue.
The below metioned info is from the last system.
I also tried the update from the console but that gives me other info which does not help me forward:
The command pkg-static info -x pfSense-upgrade:
The command pkg-static bootstrap -f:
Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

Most probably an issue where pfSense iself can't access DNS.
pfSense - the local DNS, the resolver, can't "dail' out to do it job, resolve which permits the "pkg" to load needed files.
Compare DNS settings among your system.
Test de DNS - from console.
Make sure DNS settings are set to default, as they work. -
@gertjan It was indeed a DNS issue but it was caused by something else. Time was not in sync and therefore DNS was not working. NTP was configured with DNS names only. So a what came first situation was established? The chicken or the egg? :)
I configured an additional time source by IP. Had the time updated, restarted DNS and everything was fine.
I do experience some issues with the DNS resolver sometimes. It's a different issue so I should open a new topic for that. It does not always resolve my Active Directory zones defined in the DNS resolver. Restarting the DNS resolver service solves this issue and I find that very strange...
